Simon Hart MP has described Boris Johnson as "a voice for those that have so often gone unheard" ahead of the Conservative Party's vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister.

The vote will be held this evening (Monday, June 6), after enough Conservative MPs submitted their letters to the 1922 Committee.

The Secretary of State for Wales and MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, Simon Hart, took to social media to show his support for the Prime Minister.

He said on Twitter: “As a government, we’ll be judged on whether we make the right calls on the big challenges - Ukraine, cost of living and the vaccination programme being just three examples.

“Confidence votes and regime change risk handing the levers of power to those who will do the most damage to our country.

“There is a reason why Labour and the SNP are the loudest voices calling for the PM to go.

“Boris Johnson’s great strength is that he is unique - a voice for those that have so often gone unheard across the UK.

“In good times and bad supporting the team - and especially its leader - has never been more important, and that’s what I’ll be doing tonight.”
